Green beans roasted in front of you, ground by hand, poured from the jebena. Three rounds, the way it's done at home — in the middle of Rainier Valley.
የቡና ስነ ስርዓት · The ceremony
Coffee here is not a cup to carry out. It is three rounds, and each one has a name.
Abol · the first
ጠንካራው ዙር። እንግዳን የሚቀበል፣ ንግግርን የሚከፍት።
Tona · the second
ረጋ ያለው። ወሬው ሲጀምር፣ ሰዉ ሲቀመጥ የሚጠጣ።
Bereka · the blessing
የመጨረሻው። በረከት ነው። ሳይጠጡ መሄድ አይገባም።
Roasted, ground and poured beside you. Popcorn and himbasha included. Two people, about 45 minutes.

ቡና ሲፈላ ሰው ይሰበሰባል። When the coffee boils, people gather.
